BASF has named the cause of the explosion at the plant in Ludwigshafen: a solvent leaked and ignited. A leaked organic solvent caused a fire at the plant in Ludwigshafen, but BASF is investigating why it leaked. The explosion at the BASF plant in Ludwigshafen on July 29 occurred due to a leak of an organic solvent, the company indicated, whose message is quoted by RIA Novosti. As of today, the number of victims of the accident has increased to 15 people. The message emphasizes that the installation where the explosion occurred was not working. All the victims are employees of the plant who received minor injuries. They did not require hospitalization. BASF clarified that there was no pollution of the environment. But the concern is currently investigating why the leak occurred. Recall that yesterday's explosion at the leading BASF site in Ludwigshafen resulted in 14 injuries, and residents were advised not to open windows and not to approach the plant unless necessary. It is worth noting that Ludwigshafen is home to both the largest production facility and the headquarters of BASF. The concern is currently going through hard times. It is forced to close its production sites and lay off employees in Germany. This is happening against the backdrop of rising prices for electricity and gas in Germany. https://lnkd.in/gCb6Dkx5

Cellulose Fibre Innovation of the Year 2024: the first straw-based dress from T Fabiola Celluose Pulp is produced. The ELEANOR pre-extraction process has been applied to upgrade wheat straw and allow for higher quality raw materials through fractionation. The pre-extracted straw was fractionated using the TNO's FABIOLA™ organosolv process into cellulose, lignin and hemi-cellulosic sugars. After removal of remaining minerals from the cellulose, partner German Institute of Textile and Fiber Research (DITF) used their environmentally-friendly HyperCell® process to spin the pulp into yarns, which were further knitted into a dress by Vretena. Please see for more information: https://lnkd.in/eVEtPbhY #biobased #cellulose #fibres

Demystifying Mixing: Compounds vs. Masterbatches ➡️ Lost in the world of thermoplastics and their blending processes? Pravin S Mistry of PREA Ltd simplifies it all in his insightful article, 'Mixing Thermoplastic Compounds and Masterbatches' https://lnkd.in/eZb5mnSA This comprehensive guide breaks down the key differences between compounds and masterbatches, and explores the various mixing techniques used for each: ⏺ Compound vs. Masterbatch: Compound: Pre-mixed and ready-to-use. ✅ Masterbatch: Concentrated colourant requiring dilution with natural polymer. ⏺ Mixing Methods: Blender Types: Tumble, Ribbon, or High Speed. Batch Sizes: From 25kg to 5+ tonnes! ⚖️ Online vs. Offline Blending: Real-time vs. pre-mixed options. ⏱️ ⏺ Compound Blending: Often uses lower speeds and doesn't require high-shear mixing. Can involve pigment levels below 1%. ⏺ Masterbatch Blending: High-speed mixing is crucial to ensure proper pigment dispersion. Pigment loadings can reach up to 70%. The article also delves into: Testing Procedures: Ensuring colour consistency and quality control. Homogenisation: Improving colour consistency across large batches. Direct Feeding vs. Pre-Mixing: Exploring alternative manufacturing methods. Considering Masterbatch vs. Compound? The article explores the advantages and disadvantages of each, helping you make informed decisions for your specific needs. Click the link below to access the full article by Pravin S.

DIPSOL IZ-252 SIMPLEX – The revolution in the Zinc-Nickel market Zinc-nickel coatings have become more important in recent years. The deposited layers are characterized by their high corrosion resistance, even under condition with high temperatures. When using alkaline electrolytes, decomposition products are formed which lead to a reduction in efficiency and thus in the deposition rate. This result in longer exposure times and thus higher coating costs. Membrane technologies, special anode technology or regular dilution of the electrolyte are common methods, to avoid or reduce the formation of these disruptive components. DIPSOL's latest development for barrel application offers the solution for the increasing demands in terms of economy and performance of modern zinc-nickel processes. A consistently high degree of efficiency is achieved without additional expenses. The process is characterized by a significantly reduced concentration of the bath ingredients. Notable cost savings can be achieved thanks to the reduced drag-out losses and the resulting reduced waste water load. The unique composition of the IZ-252 SIMPEX electrolyte leads to a significant reduction in the working voltage during coating. As a result, considerable savings (up to 30%) can be achieved in terms of energy use, both when coating and the corresponding cooling demand. With the appropriate system configuration, the consistently high level of efficiency also enables short coating times or respectively additional energy savings by reducing the working current. In addition to the economic advantages, the process also offers outstanding technical advantages comparing existing systems. Above all, the extraordinary behavior regarding the covering power of the process in the case of problematic base materials should be emphasized. Maintenance is carried out with just one additive (single shot). The nickel incorporation rates are stable even with variations in the process parameters. All ingredients can be fully analyzed. Due to the low metal concentrations, a significantly improved throwing power and thickness distribution is achieved. The increased layer thickness in low current density ranges can be the decisive advantage, especially in the climate change test increasingly used by the automotive industry (e.g. PV 1209, ACT 2). Furthermore, due to the low organic content, uniform deep black, highly corrosion-resistant layers can be achieved with the passivation from DIPSOL. We would be happy to discuss your savings potential with you and look forward to hearing from you. Dipsol Europe GmbH info@dipsol.eu
